The cloud's great, but sometimes you still need fast, humongous local storage. How fast and humongous? How about, say, 2TB at 10,000RPM with TWO Thunderbolt ports.

The MyBook VelociRaptor Duo is actually two 1TB 10,000RPM drives in one housing, and claims transfer speeds of up to 400 megabytes per second. The two Thunderbolt ports allows the drive to be daisy chained to additional VelociRaptors, to increase capacity and performance. It also has support for RAID 0 and RAID 1.

Sadly, the VelociRaptor Duo is only compatible with OS X. And it costs nine hundred American dollars.

The speed and size are typically best put to use on large video editing projects. But while the 10,000RPM alone is pretty good—though the real world difference between 7200RPM and 10,000RPM isn't thaaaat huge—combining it with Thunderbolt means you've basically got a humongous RAIDable SSD.

And for more overkill hard drives, WD also bumped its pocket-sized USB 3.0 My Passport drives up to 2TB, which will cost $200. The VelociRaptor Duo is the aforementioned sad, sad $900. [Western Digital]
